I installed xampp on my PC but can't start Apache & MySQL from xampp control panel. This error always appears:

Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.

This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method. Press the Logs button to view error logs and check the Windows Event Viewer for more clues If you need more help, copy and post this entire log window on the forums

I tried everything to solve it, and also changed the port but nothing helped, this error always appears.

Here is the apache log error:

[ssl:warn] [pid 4560:tid 704] AH01909: RSA certificate configured for www.example.com:443 does NOT include an ID which matches the server name
[ssl:warn] [pid 4560:tid 704] AH01909: RSA certificate configured for www.example.com:443 does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

Please help me, this is a serious problem.

The solution could be to uncheck the “Enable LMHOSTS Lookup” box in the TCP/IP protocol setup (under WINS setting). Here are the steps to do this:

  1. Open “Control Panel” then “Network Connections.”
  2. Right-click on “Local Area Connection” and select “Properties.”
  3. Double-click on the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” line to open the “Properties.”
  4. On the “General” tab, click the “Advanced” button.
  5. Select the “WINS” tab and uncheck the “Enable LMHOSTS Lookup” box.”

  • Just check if windows firewall is blocking? – Sathish D Mar 24 '14 at 11:12
  • Windows firewall is disabled. – user3455011 Mar 24 '14 at 11:14
  • configure apache on a different port other than what it's configured right now (may be default 80) OR try Not to install apache as a service..if it's installed as a service you can use sc delete [service name] to delete the service.. – Sathish D Mar 24 '14 at 11:14
  • I already tried to configure apache on a different port other than 80 but it didn't help as well. What do you mean by "install apache as a service"? How can I check if it's installed as a service? – user3455011 Mar 24 '14 at 11:18
  • 13:15:57 [Apache] Problem detected! 13:15:57 [Apache] Port 80 in use by "Unable to open process" with PID 4! 13:15:57 [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free! 13:15:57 [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application 13:15:57 [Apache] or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port – user3455011 Mar 24 '14 at 11:20
  • I typed services.msc, Apache2.4 appears there, but it isn't activated, it's stopped. – user3455011 Mar 24 '14 at 11:21
  • If I try to activate Apache2.4 via services.msc, it doesn't work too. – user3455011 Mar 24 '14 at 11:23

  • I still get the port 80 error even though I already changed the port to 8080. – user3455011 Mar 24 '14 at 11:24
  • The process who uses port 80 is System. I can't stop it via processes tab in task manager. But I changed the port to 8080 and still the same error appears. What to do? :( – user3455011 Mar 24 '14 at 11:27
  • Go to services.msc >> right click world wide web publishing >> stop service and try restarting Apache – Sathish D Mar 24 '14 at 11:32
  • I don't see world wide web publishing there. – user3455011 Mar 24 '14 at 11:44
  • I tried everything I could but nothing helped, the same error appears. – user3455011 Mar 24 '14 at 11:59
